Excellent service

This is how banking should be. Aimed at providing the best possible service with the most up to date technology. Leaves the creaking out of date high street banks in their wake. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple flexible banking

I have had accounts with most of the major banks, and Starling is a breath of fresh air! As most people bank online, Starling have focussed on building an app that meets all of your needs. It’s simple to use, and allows you to create sub accounts, which helps to manage your money effectively. I also receive notifications every time I use my card, which helps me to identify any fraudulent spending at the time it is used. I love Starling!!! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Lock down money management

In the turbulent 2021, I started using my "regular" bank debit card instead of cash for shopping. I found it very difficult to keep track of my spending. I had opened a Starling account to help with spending money abroad. I started to use my Starling card for everyday shopping in the Uk and it was amazing. The moment I use it , it pings on my phone. The app allows me to keep track of my spending day by day and month by month. I kept my regular bank account and I just transfer money so much at a time. It gives me peace of mind that if I lose my card or it is hacked no-one would have access to my regular account that my pension is paid into. I asked at my regular bank and they said their app just could not rival that provided by Starling. A big thanks to Starling for helping me manage and control my money using this incredible app. When we return to a new "normal" I will continue to use my Starling card.

Been so good for me!

So this app and bank changed the way i handled my money for the better. I've learned to save and watch my money grow. Since learning it manage my money better I've recommended it to Friends and family. I love the simplicity off the app and the ability to customise each savings pot and things like payees pictures. It's easy to shear my bank details too and has just become my main bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

So easy and fast it’s very enabling Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Never thought I would love my bank, but I now do!

Fantastic app, bank and services. Innovative products and value beating all the competition. Complete game changer in banking end to end. Even foreign transfers cheaper than Transferwise. And all led by an inspiring female founder. What's not to love? Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
